Imagine Omar comes up with a How to grow your calves guide ahaha
SQUAAAAD 🔥
Someone tag omar
@OMER SURFCLAMM did it
Lol
I love how half of the comments are about Omar
Can you do a guide for upper body hair next?
Step 1: be a real man
Daniel hosking oof...
You're a Savage!
Step 1: Be born Russian, Turkish or Scottish.
It's all about establishing a good mind-follicle connection.
Hypertrophy guide is now complete. Thanks @Juggernaut Training Systems !!
actually we don't have forearms yet
and neck
He said that he won't be writing those anywhere soon, as RP just recently started experimenting with forearm training. I believe he doesn't do direct neck training either, but you can figure out those by yourself if you're interested.
Great video, I used to get discouraged. I’m in great shape but always had bird calves. Last year I fully committed to twice a week training. Focusing on the contraction and a full stretch are great tips. Mine grew some to the point I’m not that embarrassed to wear shorts lol
#teamnocalves anyone?
#Omar Isuf
Love these hypertrophy guide videos. Also Mike has such a nice soothing voice to listen to.
I have been using your advice for a program I use with my training bud. He, even with his 20+ years of experience, has on several occasions mentioned that the program is really good. So thanks Dr. Mike!
Thank you so much. I may have watched every calve video and read every calve article and this was one if the best!
Thanks Dr.Mike, really enjoy the hypertrophy series... as a beginner lifter, there is a lot of info out there on different types of exercises, but dont break down the recommended MEV, MAV, MRV rep ranges etc. These video are short and sweet but straight to the point and very informative 👍👍
this series and Jeff’s science applied series are everything🙌🏾🙏🏾
Love everything dr. Mike puts out, always great
The information in this video series is so valuable. Thank you!!
Omar Isuf will love this one lol
I appreciate your videos so much! I am really working hard to build up my forearms this year, we would all love a forearm hypertrophy guide. Thank you
Check out Jeff Nippard's recent science of forearm vid.
Iv watched and still do lots of calf videos, if you’re reading this mate I want you to know you explained things really well and I like the way you come across . . . . thanks for the info and advice👍
Thank you so much! This is a big step in my physique building. So informative and well explained. Gonna train them now!!!
And...
Thank you for your knowledge and presentation, to the point, useful info and nicely articulated. I will immediately follow your advice!! Once again, thank you and blessings to you and yours.
I was born with monster calves and would happily give half of them away in exchange for some biceps.
Deal, where do you live?
Same boat here, have not trained calves for a year now, beating my arms up and they still are not even 14 inchesm
I would want wider shoulders i stead of big calves omg
Opposite here
All i need is an address
You Literally summarized everything in the 1st 1min of the video.Much appreciated and thanks for being very detailed💯💯💯💯💯
Great video and great closing statement. The main mistake I've made is just doing nothing because I see no results. I'm sticking to it now.
Great video once again Mike
Awesome video man!!! Thank you so much for the info!
Holding the peak contraction is an underrated tip for calves. You get a hypoxia occlusion effect due to the sustained contraction. You progress by timing the duration of the peak contractions as well as the standard sets & reps counts
Great information, thanks man!
That's a very good content, you're great man!
Haha tippy toes.
I was doing calves on a Smith the other day, going through full range of motion and a guy approached me to recommend the bouncing shit. "bang out as many movements as you can, as quickly as possible," he said.
His calves were half the size of mine...and mine aren't huge 🙈
This was soo informative! Great vid
Great vid. Super prescriptive covering all details which I what I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful
The most important video in the history of bodybuilding
Finally all i was waiting for :)
I definitely need this guide
Thanks for the great video!
Hey, Thanks so much... Excellent advice.
Already liked and favorited because Dr. Mike.
Extremely informative video.
This was great. Thankyou 👍
Actively dorsiflexing at the bottom of a calf raise increases the stretch even more, I've gotten pretty sore down there with this advice.
Lightning what is dorsiflexing? Straining to lift your toes even more at the bottom of the rep?
@@gerrit8350 Exactly.
Thanks for the video!!
What works for me is three heavy sets per day. 10-15 reps, it's very recoverable and you don't need too draw so much focus on them when doing legs and it's easy to incorporate for the people who hit the gym 5-6 times a week. You will discover that bodyweight usually isn't enough unless you do 6 second negatives..
bodyweight one leg at a time is better but still only takes you up to a point, added weight is necessary for calves to get truly shocked :O
Good presentation.
this one is going to blow up
Vandit Jain unlike my calves.
amazing video thanks for the motivation broo
amazing! thank u bro,i really click without much expectation but im surprised,just amazing bro
Lies. We all know minimum effective volume = infinity sets/week
Do a guide for forearms please!!
Listening to this while doing calf raises
Thank you man!
The guide every bro has been waiting for has arrived
I do three times per week, 7 sets per time, split into three different movements with one of them bent knee, for a total 21 sets per week, 17 to 25 reps. per set. It’s cray
good stuff brother
I always do calf raises with a bit less weight I did squats with after doing squats. Worked wonders. What truly made a difference in additon to calf workouts were tibialis raises for my lower leg
Also sled pulling/ pushing for calves is a good idea, even a good fit for strength training, and microloadable
Please do a video for forearms, mine look like ramen noodles
Same. Pulling all this weight off the floor but got spindly forearms
Do wrist flexion and wrist extension exercises and have patience
All kinds of different grip work is good too. There are a lot of muscles in the forearms.
Dumbbell wrist curls with stupid large amounts of weights, do build up to it slowly of course
Try behind the back wrist curls with a barbell using heavier weight
Now we need one for the anterior tibialis!
To continue the legacy: "HELLO HAIRY MUSCLE DADDY!!11"
Lmfao
i love this dude
Well said!
Where's the hairy muscle Daddy comment?
I only clicked to find it.
lmao i only came to the comment section to find it too haha
Lmfao I'm happy other people are looking for that weirdo comment and not just me
Lol right below this one
ROITS= Hair Loss in head and hair growth everywhere else
Nice tips 👌
Forearms please!! I've got the male physique template but there's no specific training for the forearms. Awesome guides!
BFR experts advise against wrapping at the knee or elbow. They recommend always wrapping at the top of the limb.
Walking down the stairs is the best exercise for calves. No weight needed. Because you are on your toes as you take a step down, your calves absorb huge amounts of force in full contracted position, a few times your bodyweight. Then you automatically control your weight to balance your front leg to take another step, that's slow eccentrics. Try it, 50 stairs at a time, climb back up, repeat 10 times. That's like 250 reps per leg. Your calves will get more sore than ever for the next few days. Work your way up to 20 rounds. Your calves will grow. And because you aren't stretching your ankles too much, you don't have to worry about training frequently if you train your calves this way, without inflaming your achilles.
I do about 15 sets per week for calves, slow reps, full rom and they recover so fast, in a matter of minutes I'd say. They grow but I don't even feel my calves need for recovery
I love this guy
My regular workout has just “floor-up” calf raises. After watching this I included a chair back under half my foot and holy crap am I sore now!!
What about Forearms and Neck ? Great series!
With a smith machine, just put a step there to stand on so that you can get that stretch :-)
I trained calves for the first time in a year the other day, went hard lol. Seated/Standing / donkey, I was crippled for 3 days.
@omarisuf
Rey Castillo Lol, my thoughts exactly 😏😂
very good vid
Will there be a forearm hypertrophy guide?
Finally here!
Been doing calf machine work for months and got nowhere with it. Switched to Smith machine standing on 10kg plates for a deep stretch. Worst DOMS I've ever had! Finally a use for the Smith machine!
I also do deep feet forward squats on the smith machine and love them for quads training.
Forearms, I’d really like to hear that one
It's insane how Dr Mike has gotten even bigger after 4 years
Would growing the soleus muscle be good for folks who work on their feet a lot in unstable movement situations? I'm wondering or if it'll strengthen my ankle and related ligaments?
The most important muscle of the body!
It was mentioned briefly but it’s SO important not to bounce if you want to actually work the calves not your Achilles’ tendon. Also rewinding to 2009... bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/training-the-calves.html/
Best intro music.
Omar isurf needs to see this
Hypertrophy guide | lil johnson | next, pls
Nice!
Do one on elongation of the male root
Have you made a video on forearm hypertrophy?
Critically acclaimed!!
Dr. Mike is so dreamy. I want to be him some day 😍
I train calves 3 times a year.. I might reduce it to 2 because they are growing huge and they bump into each other while walking
I have a question about volume. When you say 12-16 sets per week, do you mean 12-16 sets per week of each exercise or is that the total sets you should do for all calf exercises. So you said for MEV that 8 sets a week means 4 sets for 2 days, does that mean I should only be doing one exercise for 4 sets on two days, or do you mean 4 sets on two days per week of each exercise I choose to do for calves? Sorry if I made a simple question very complicated, I just wanted to make sure to elaborate on what I meant.
I do 300 reps.
40 feet forward
30 ankles apart
30 ankle together
100 as fast as i possibly can (standing body weight)
Back to one (increase the weight by 45lbs or more every week)
I train it once a week with the back of my leg
what do you think?
It’s better to do it with actual weights instead of body weight. Also, once a week isn’t enough. Try 3-4 times a week
I have to wait 3-4 mins between sets to get another good set. My reps regardless of rep range are taken to failure. If I was to wait only 30 secs between sets, I would go from, let say, 12 reps to 3 reps. Most people don’t like to train calves and never go to failure. I’m not talking about failure as in how much pain you feel but failure as in physical failure (you can’t lift the weight anymore)
There's something funny about hearing a doctor saying "Tippy Toes."
How important is metabolic training or 'feeling the burn' for hypertrophy?
med lad important but not the most important.
Can I apply these hypertrophy strategies to bodyweight workouts?
Gunna do a proper mass pahse with specializing the calves and the rear delts along with either my back. Cuz doing my arms with my shoulders rn.
Why no video about forearms
I've never trained them once but they're huge . Does that make me a calve building "expert"?
Of course. You can start selling your "online program" as soon as you wish.
What Mdrummer said. That's why I have rich guys with nice cars do all my car repairs.
Teach me how to get a Christmas tree lower back and well developed scapulae musculature please
